Giveaway! Muffin Tin Lunch Tools

Wow, I was overwhelmed at how well the Muffin Tin Lunch post went over yesterday. I certainly can't take credit for the idea, but I was happy to pass it on. I know how frustrating meals can be!

By far the most common question I got asked was "Where did you get your cutters?". Well, I got 1 set from Pampered Chef (seasonal cutters, a leaf, pumpkin, heart, shamrock, apple, jalapeno pepper). They were part of their Entertaining line a while back, cutters for fancy cheeses, but I don't think they make them anymore, ask your local Pampered Chef rep though, I might be crazy.

The other set (farm animals) I got at ThinkKitchen at Ottawa's Trainyards. But I'm sure any kitchen or baking supply store (Like Michaels) would have a set.

But as luck would have it, I took a run to theBulk Barn (they have a great selection, and you can buy individual cutters) today and picked up a set for my lucky readers! I've also thrown in a few other helpful Muffin Tin Lunch accessories to help making lunch fun and easy!

Love this idea. My daughter is always having a "smorgasboard" type lunch and this would be a fun way to mix it up a little. In a muffin tin I would fill it with her favourites, grapes, strawberries, cheese, salami, crackers and cucumbers

This is a great idea and I can't wait to try it out! I would put Tristan's favourites like cheese and crackers, strawberries and grapes, but I would use it as a tool to try to get him to eat things he won't even look at.... like green things! Perhaps he would eat something green if it was in the shape of a dinosaur sandwich?? :)

What a great giveaway!In each compartment I might try something a little different like toppings for a make-your-own min-pizza made with uncooked dough or using flatbread or a pita. Things I know my girl likes, like (1) baby spinach leaves, (2)onion slices, (3)red peppers, (4)feta cheese crumbles, (5)mozzarella cheese, and (6)sauce.

I would put carrots sticks, red pepper sticks, cheese shapes, cute sandwiches and maybe a fun treat for dessert like smarties. Love this type of lunch! My kids love it and eat it and it is easy to make :)

I love this idea! I think I'll try it with Mr. Callum. So cute and smart. Here's what I'd put in his (this is a good exercise for me!):1. Hot dogs (gluten-free!)2. Ketchup3. Carrots4. Cucumber5. Hummus or guac6. Some chocolate milk and a straw :) Thanks Amanda - this is a fun giveaway!
